For the last two weeks we’ve had great weather in California. This morning was the first day it was raining since I arrived. Since my mode of transport is a bicycle and the ride to the gym is about ten minutes, needless to say I was soaked by the time I got to the gym.
In terms of the workout today, for my quads I kept it really simple – eight sets of leg press. This is something I like to rotate into my legs routine and it’s a great mass builder for the quads and glutes.
For hamstrings and calves I also kept it basic. That meant lying curls for hamstrings and a few different types of raises for calves.
Because I have been going through a lot of extremely painful workouts, using moderate weights, very high intensity, short rest periods and specific technique it was nice to put myself through a simple heavy workout today. Here it is:
